Best Doctor I Have Ever Had (I am 78)

My first visit to Dr. Janna Massar was shocking. She took two hours talking to me, asked to see every medicine and vitamin I was taking and spent the two hours giving me information, asking for information from me and giving me positive things to do when I left. I was used to the seven minutes and out. One of the most rewarding things she did was stop my osteoporosis medicine that I had been taking for over twenty years. She explained it did do what my previous doctor said it did, but more current research identified an equally important negative effect. She told me to stop taking it and gave me advice on what to do instead. I was very nervous to stop taking the pill. But she was the first doctor I have had that spent time with me beyond the seven minutes, explained the reasons for things and asked me to trust her. So I did. Best medical decision I have made. She was absolutely right. The next bone density test I had, I had actually gained bone in my right hip. It may sound small to you, but it was confirmation to me that she was the doctor I needed. She is the best.
